What's Trucker Kid About

Publisher Summary

Although Athena misses her truck-driving daddy when he’s on the road, she thinks he has the most amazing job in the world. She loves showing off her love of all things trucking. But her classmates don’t quite get her or why she calls herself Trucker Kid. Can Athena change their minds and show the other students that it’s cool to be Trucker Kid? Highlighting a child’s pride for a parent’s job, author Carol Gordon Ekster and illustrator Russ Cox remind readers of the essential role truck drivers play in their everyday lives.
